So, what do you think about this pseudo-code to demonstrate the use of
ClientResource? (My experience has shown this to hang applications...)
function getText(url) {
var resource = new ClientResource(url)
var representation = resource.get()
if (representation) {
var text;
try {
text = representation.getText()
}
finally {
representation.exhaust()
}
return text
}
}
